Being the same size for ten years (and counting), along with following a healthy eating plan, has allowed her to enjoy a happy life with her husband, 3 grown daughters, 6 grandchildren, live-in parents, family and friends, as well as her active fourth grade students.

Emily (Thinner) has been on a diet since the fourth grade. She is very grateful to have found a plan that allows her to be thin, while still having the energy needed to be successful in her career.

Not just recipes but a fun book to read. Thin has the same situation as I do, a family that loves to eat. And it shows in the family album. This is not just a diet but a way to eat for life. It really works. Its simple and you don't need to prepare complicated meals. The do and don't eat examples make it easy to stick to it.

This book is exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't been able to find anything like this in stores. The diet plan is something I know I can live with. The recipes are easy and ones I can use with my family and company. I am very excited about following the program,and keeping the weight off.I highly recommend this book.
